2 years ago Oh nice, thank you. The code is currently living here, for downloading a package via git. I think this logic could be pulled out into a top-level git package, and reused by the package caching, and the sources.

1 year ago Happy to jump into this and assist. We're wanting to use atlas and unfortunately their latest release is git tag only – not github release.

1 year ago I'm not sure what atlas is, but this issue is specifically talking about using git tags for extra package manifest sources, not for packages themselves.
If this is Atlas, you'd likely download the tarballs from their site. If you're talking about using tags for auto-versioning, a better option would be to use the html auto-versioning. This is also what we do for Go.

1 year ago @alecthomas thanks for the clarification! Taking up the need for an index page of releases with the Atlas team (it's this atlas for clarification).
The bin/hermit.hcl sources variable is not supporting repo tags. Example: sources = ["https://gitlab.com/onis-oss/hermit-packages.git#onis-oss"]
Results in this error: fatal:hermit: /home/rolandknight/git/gitlab.com/onis-oss/tlc/sandbox/bin/hermit.hcl: unsupported source "https://gitlab.com/onis-oss/hermit-packages.git#onis-oss"
